Definitions

  • the invention relates to the inductive charging of a rechargeable battery of a vehicle.
  • the invention relates to a method and to a corresponding device for securing a primary coil used in the inductive charging.
  • Vehicles in particular vehicles with an electric drive, include rechargeable batteries for storing electrical energy.
  • the rechargeable battery of a vehicle can be recharged, for example, by connection to a power source external to the vehicle (for example by connection to a public electrical grid).
  • One approach to the automatic, cableless, inductive charging of the battery of the vehicle consists in the electrical energy being transmitted to the battery from the floor to the underbody of the vehicle by magnetic induction via the underbody clearance. This is illustrated by way of example in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a vehicle 100 with an accumulator 103 for electrical energy (for example with a rechargeable battery 103 ).
  • the vehicle 100 includes a “secondary coil” 102 in the vehicle underbody, wherein the secondary coil 102 is connected to the accumulator 103 via impedance matching (not shown) and a rectifier 101 .
  • the secondary coil 102 can be positioned over a primary coil 111 , wherein the primary coil 111 is attached, for example, to the floor of a garage.
  • the primary coil 111 is connected to a power supply 110 .
  • the power supply 110 may have a radio frequency generator which generates an alternating current (AC) in the primary coil 111 , as a result of which a magnetic field is induced.
  • AC alternating current
  • the current induced in the secondary coil 102 is rectified by the rectifier 101 and stored in the accumulator 103 (for example in the battery). Electrical energy can thus be transmitted in a cableless manner from the power supply 110 to the energy accumulator 103 of the vehicle 100 .
  • the secondary coil 102 of the vehicle 100 should be positioned with a certain precision (typically ⁇ 10 cm) over the primary coil 111 (which is also referred to as a floor unit).
  • the primary coil 111 should be secured fixedly on the floor in order to avoid slipping or movement of the primary coil 111 .
  • permanent securing for example using a screw connection of the primary coil 111 to the floor, is frequently not possible here. For example, in an underground garage which is accessible to a large number of unknown individuals, it may not be permitted to carry out a fixed installation of the primary coil 111 in the floor (for example by means of screws).
  • any permanent holes for the screws of a primary coil 111 may not be possible for any permanent holes for the screws of a primary coil 111 to be drilled on a parking space which is used only temporarily.
  • any holes may not be possible for any holes to be drilled, for example, in a garage with a high-quality floor covering.
  • the primary coil 111 will have to be transferred in the foreseeable future to a different location, and therefore an installation of the primary coil 111 that can be removed without any problems or residue is desired.
  • a slip-proof mat In order to secure the primary coil 111 , use could be made of a slip-proof mat. Such a slip-proof mat can be removed without a residue. However, a slip-proof mat does not provide adequate theft protection for the primary coil 111 . A slip-proof mat therefore cannot be used in publicly accessible regions (such as, for example, in an underground garage).
  • the present document describes a method and a device which permit a primary coil 111 to be secured on a floor in a theft-proof manner and so as to be removable without a residue.
  • a device for securing a rail on an underlying surface (for example on the floor of a garage or a parking space).
  • the device can be used in particular for placing a primary coil on the underlying surface.
  • the rail can be a metal rail.
  • the rail has a lower wall and at least one side wall.
  • the rail can have a rectangular cross section.
  • the rail can have an elongated extent and can form a length-extended cuboid.
  • the rail can form a frame by which a space for receiving the primary coil is formed.
  • the rail can have a cavity, for example for receiving a cable.
  • the device has a connecting tape (for example an adhesive tape or a touch-and-close tape) which has a longitudinal extent along the rail.
  • the connecting tape can in particular have a length which corresponds to the length of the rail.
  • the connecting tape has a sufficient width in order to cover the lower wall and to at least partially (but optionally also completely) cover the at least one side wall of the rail.
  • the rail typically comprises two side walls, and the connecting tape typically has a width in order to at least partially (but optionally also completely) cover the two side walls and the entire lower wall.
  • the connecting tape typically has a leaf-shaped configuration. Furthermore, the connecting tape typically has longitudinal sides along the longitudinal extent of the rail and ends along the cross section of the rail. Furthermore, the connecting tape has an outer side and an inner side. The inner side is designed here to enter laterally into connection with the rail, and the lower outer side is designed to enter into connection with the underlying surface.
  • the connecting tape has, on the outer side of the connecting tape, an external connecting layer which is designed to produce adhesion along the lower wall of the rail between the connecting tape and the underlying surface.
  • the external connecting layer can be designed in particular to produce an adhesive connection and/or a touch-and-close connection.
  • the adhesion between the connecting tape and the underlying surface can be designed in particular in such a manner that release of the rail in the transverse direction with respect to the underlying surface is prevented.
  • the connecting tape has, on the inner side, at least one internal connecting layer which is designed to produce adhesion along the at least one side wall of the rail between the at least one side wall of the rail and the connecting tape.
  • the internal connecting layer can be designed in particular to produce an adhesive connection and/or a touch-and-close connection.
  • the adhesion between the at least one side wall of the rail and the connecting tape can be designed in particular in such a manner that release of the rail in a direction perpendicular to the underlying surface is prevented.
  • adhesions are typically configured in such a manner that they can be removed without residue when required.
  • the device furthermore has a housing which is connectable to the rail and blocks access to the rail when the housing is connected to the rail.
  • the housing can be designed to surround and/or to cover a primary coil for inductively charging a vehicle.
  • the housing can be designed to enclose a cable for connecting the primary coil to a power supply. The housing therefore prevents unauthorized release of the adhesions and therefore a possible theft of a primary coil enclosed by the rail or a cable enclosed by the rail.
  • the rail and the housing can be connected to each other by a screw connection, for example.
  • the housing can have a closeable covering by which access to the screw connection can be prevented in a closed state. By opening the cover, installation of the housing on the rail can be made possible. Furthermore, unauthorized removal of the housing can be prevented by a closed covering.
  • the connecting tape can have, on the inner side, an internal region for receiving the lower wall of the rail.
  • the internal region typically lies opposite the extemal connecting layer.
  • the internal region cannot have any adhesive connecting layer. This is advantageous with respect to removal of the rail.
  • the connecting tape can have, on the outer side, an external region which lies opposite the at least one internal connecting layer and which likewise does not have an adhesive connecting layer. This is advantageous for the handling of the connecting tape since a connecting layer in the external region would get in the way during the installation and removal of the rail.
  • the connecting tape can have a multiplicity of segments along the longitudinal extent. Internal connecting layers between two adjacent segments of the multiplicity of segments can be interrupted. In other words, the internal connecting layers and/or the connecting tape can be divided in the regions which are intended to cover the at least one side wall of the rail into separate segments. This has the advantage that the individual segments have a reduced adhesion force which can be overcome by a person in order to release an individual segment from the side wall of the rail. The connecting tape can therefore be released from the rail segment-by-segment. Furthermore, the multiplicity of segments together have a large adhesion force which prevents release of the rail. The division into segments also permits installation on underlying surfaces which are not entirely flat.
  • the connecting tape can have one or more tabs on a longitudinal side for detaching the adhesion between the at least one side wall of the rail and the connecting tape.
  • each segment of the multiplicity of segments can have a tab.
  • the connecting tape can have a tab at one end for detaching the adhesion between the connecting tape and the underlying surface. Pulling off the connecting tape can be facilitated by way of a tab.
  • the connecting tape can have transverse reinforcements in the region for receiving the lower wall of the rail in order to make it difficult to detach the adhesion between the connecting tape and the underlying surface by means of forces acting transversely on the rail.
  • the method includes features which correspond to the features of the device.

  • the device 200 includes a housing 201 which can be placed onto the floor 220 and thus covers the primary coil 111 .
  • the housing 201 can be the housing of the primary coil 111 .
  • the housing 201 has an upper wall and lateral walls by which the primary coil 111 is enclosed.
  • the device 200 includes a securing rail 211 (for example a metal rail).
  • the securing rail 211 is fastened on the floor 220 (also called ground in this document) by use of an adhesive tape 212 .
  • the adhesive tape 212 surrounds the securing rail 211 .
  • the adhesive tape 212 has a lower surface with which the adhesive tape 212 is adhesively bonded onto the floor 220 .
  • the adhesive tape 212 has side surfaces with which the adhesive tape 212 is adhesively bonded to side walls of the securing rail 211 .
  • the housing 201 can then be fastened (for example by a screw connection illustrated in FIG. 2 a by means of one or more screws 213 ) to the securing rail 211 which is fastened to the floor 220 .
  • the device 200 illustrated in FIG. 2 a has two securing rails 211 on a left and a right side of the housing 201 . It is emphasized that a different number of securing rails 211 can be used. In particular, the housing 201 can be surrounded by securing rails 211 or by a securing frame 211 in order to fasten the housing to the floor 220 on all sides. It should furthermore be emphasized that, instead of an adhesive connection to the securing rail 211 and/or to the floor 220 , the adhesive tape 212 can provide a touch-and-close connection.
  • the securing rail 211 and therefore also the housing 201 can be removed from the floor 220 without residue.
  • the adhesive/touch-and-close connection ensures that the primary coil 111 enclosed by the housing 201 cannot be stolen.
  • the device 200 can furthermore have a removable covering 202 .
  • the covering 202 can be fastened to the housing 201 by screws.
  • the screws can have special screw head drives in order to prevent opening of the covering 202 using conventional screwdrivers.
  • the covering 202 can be pushed laterally into the housing 201 and closed. By removing the covering 202 , access to the one or more screws 213 can be made possible in order to fasten the housing 201 to the securing rail 211 or to remove the housing from the securing rail 211 .
  • the closed covering 202 prevents access to the one or more screws 213 and thereby prevents unauthorized removal of the housing 201 and of the primary coil 111 .
  • the device 200 can furthermore have a reach-under protector 203 .
  • a flat object for example a knife
  • the reach-under protector 203 can be fastened to the housing 201 .
  • the adhesive strip 212 can be removed without residue when required.
  • a rail 211 is adhesively bonded to the adhesive strip 212 or is fastened thereto by a touch-and-close lock.
  • the second connection can likewise be released again.
  • the rail 211 cannot be removed without the adhesive/touch-and-close strip 212 being previously pulled off since the entire connecting surface would have to be released at the same time.
  • this requires high forces which cannot readily be applied by a potential thief.
  • the primary coil 111 or the housing 201 of the primary coil 111 can then be screwed onto the rail 211 .
  • the primary coil 111 (or the housing 201 ) is then no longer releasable since the entire adhesive/touch-and-close surface would have to be torn away simultaneously, which, as already mentioned, would require great forces.
  • a reach-under protector 203 and/or by means of a closeable covering 202 access by unauthorized persons to the fastening system 211 , 212 , 213 (i.e. to the adhesive strip 212 , to the rail 211 and/or to the screws 213 ) can be prevented.

  • the adhesive tape 212 has adhesive layers 253 which are designed for securing the side walls of the rail 211 with the adhesive tape 212 .
  • a fixed connection is achieved between rail 211 and adhesive tape 212 . This connection in particular prevents the rail 211 from being able to be released from the adhesive tape 212 by pulling the rail away from the floor 220 since high lateral adhesive forces are in effect.
  • the adhesive tape 212 typically does not have any adhesive layer on the upper side of the basic structure 251 , by which adhesive layer the lower wall of the rail 211 is secured with the adhesive tape 212 .

  • the segmentation of the lateral adhesive layers 253 By means of the segmentation of the lateral adhesive layers 253 , the detaching of the adhesive tape 212 from the side walls of the rail 211 is facilitated. Also, the securing of the rail 211 with respect to forces acting on the rail 211 from above is only imperceptibly reduced. Furthermore, the segmentation permits installation on an uneven underlying surface (as illustrated in FIG. 4 ).
  • the adhesive tape 212 can have a tab 354 at one or both ends of the adhesive tape 212 .
  • the tab 354 can be used to pull off the adhesive tape 212 from the floor 220 in the longitudinal direction.

It is apparent that unevennesses can be absorbed by the adhesive tape 212 and the segmentation thereof. By securing the lower side of the adhesive tape 212 on the floor 220 , release of the rail 211 in the transverse direction is prevented, and, by securing the adhesive tape 212 to the sides of the rail 211 , release of the rail 211 perpendicular to the floor 220 is prevented. Furthermore, by securing the housing 201 on the rail 211 (as illustrated in FIG. 2 a ), access to the adhesive tape 212 is prevented, and therefore detaching of the adhesive tape 212 from the rail 211 is prevented.

  • An extensive touch-and-close or adhesive connection is produced by the tape 212 .
  • the extensive connection cannot be released or displaced with the entire surface in one step.
  • a separation is possible only by pulling off directly at the rail 211 , 511 .
  • the division of the tape 212 into segments 312 permits the stepwise release of partial surfaces of the connection.
  • a segment 312 is typically a relatively short migrating line along which the adhesive/touch-and-close strip 212 can be pulled off. By means of the at all times relatively small surface of a segment 312 which is to be released, the pulling-off forces are correspondingly small.
  • the sole part which typically has to be renewed after removal in order to install the primary coil 111 for the second time is the adhesive/touch-and-close tape.
  • the other components of the device 200 are reusable.
  • the device 200 may include in particular: one or more intermediate carriers 211 (for example rails or frames) which are adhesively bonded onto the floor 220 using the adhesive tape 212 .
  • the floor unit i.e. the housing 201 and the primary coil 111
  • the one or more intermediate carriers 211 , 511 may be on part of the object to be fastened.
  • the adhesive tape 212 can be adhesively bonded directly onto the floor unit to be installed.
  • the fastening system 200 can be protected via a covering 202 against unauthorized access.
  • the covering 202 may be, for example, a covering of the cable duct 240 or a covering part of the floor unit 201 , 111 .
  • the coverings 202 can be protected by a corresponding screw connection or by a lock against unauthorized removal.
  • a plurality of parts of a covering 202 can be designed (for example can be pushed over one another) in such a manner that only part of the covering 202 has to be “closed” (in particular the final part which is fitted or the first part which has to be removed).
  • the system 220 can also be installed on an uneven underlying surface.
  • the system can be supplemented with a theft protection warning which, for example when the connecting line between floor unit 201 , 111 and electronics 110 is severed, an acoustic, optical and/or telecommunications warning message triggered.
  • a theft-proof installation of the primary coil 110 can be carried out without special knowledge.
  • the primary coil 110 can be removed again at any time “without residue”. Furthermore, a slip-proof installation on highly diverse floor conditions is possible.
